There was a time not that many years ago when for a while the cell phone just might have failed but it has re-invented itself to become the most important of technological developments n the twentieth century. Many parents convince themselves that their children must have one for safety but in reality it is usually so the children are not looked own upon by their friends. Cell phone manufacturers were quick on the uptake of fitting their phones with as many gadgets as possible to ensure a constant demand for these high tech pieces of equipment. Various beneficial features of cellular phones that are not available in a land line telephone will make cellular phones outpace land line telephony. To make them a little more individual, new features like backgrounds called cellular phone wallpaper have been added.

Now, changing your wallpaper couldn't be easier with web sites set up just for this purpose. You may also transfer images that can be used as a background from one phone to another cellular phone and even the pictures shot from your own cell phone can be your wallpaper. This new technology also allows for any type of digital image to be transferred, once uploaded, to your cell phone.

If that is not enough, just to personalize the cellular phone wallpaper a little more, an individual text message can be displayed on the image. However, if your cellular phone does not support uploading backgrounds, do not despair, this does not mean you will not get the benefits of owning a cell phone. Still, even if your model cannot accept new screen backgrounds, it may well accept ring tones which will give you that personal touch.  If possible, avoid loud and annoying  cellular ringtones. The ability to change backgrounds and ring tones is for many just the icing on the cake so as long as it can make calls, that is enough.

You must never forget what the cell phone is actually for and remember that sending a SMS text does not need the most popular background or ring tone to help it on its way! Functionality does not necessitate cellular phone wallpapers; their use is only to dress up your phone and for the purpose of flaunting your cell phones high technology features, nothing more. Although not remembered these days, you should always exhibit good telephone etiquette and not use your phone when it disturbs others. You are not your phone so when you make calls remember that people are judging your behavior, not your phone's appearance.

There are many locations where it is not suitable or accepted that a cell phone should be used and you will have more respect from others if you turn it off when you are in this type of situation. Good behavior can be catching and yours may lead others to do the same, be different, do not do what others do just because it is easier. People tend to follow and when one person shows superior cell phone etiquette then others may follow suit.
